New Year's Eve and New Year's Day

My favorite holiday is New Year's Eve and New Year's day. I look forward to coming the day every year.

 I always stay at home with my family. In New Year's Eve, we take a bath in early time and watch TV, eating snacks, new year dishes and mikans for example "Kouhaku" which is a singing contest between a mail and a female team of popular singers, a lot of variety shows and so on. Usually, Japanese people eat buckwheat noodles at midnight, but we eat Udon every year, because I like it! And we celebrate the New Year. Then I sleep at 3 or 4 o'clock.

In New Year's day, I get up at 9 o'clock in the morning and go to my grandparents's house. My family and I eat "Zoni" which is soup containing rice cakes. It is good. And we like it. After the breakfast, my grandparents and parents give me New Year's gifts. I'm happy...! New Year's Eve and New Year's day have a lot of happy things, so I like them. What do you do on New Year's Eve and New Year's day?

  1. Your New Years sounds fun! I have heard of that show before, the singing competition, but I have never watched it before. The food in the pictures look delicious!

    In Hawaii, we would usually play with fireworks, but a couple years ago they made it illegal so it is not as fun! I guess this year I will just hang out with friends and drink! Haha
